Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ancient building reinforcement technology, and in particular to a reinforcement structure for earthen buildings. Background Technology
[0002] The existing technology CN207277607U describes a prefabricated steel support frame for reinforcing masonry load-bearing walls. This frame is constructed using steel columns and beams, with the bottom of the steel columns anchored to a cast-in-place foundation. Self-resetting steel cables are installed between the steel columns, with the upper end anchored to the cable anchorage and the lower end tensioned at the cable tensioning end. Gaps are cut at the building floor slab or the upper part of the reinforced masonry load-bearing wall to transfer the load from the building floor slab to the steel support frame. This design offers advantages such as strong earthquake resistance, simple structure, high degree of prefabrication, and short construction period. However, this type of method is suitable for reinforcing cast-in-place concrete structures. The structure and materials of rammed earth buildings are different from those of cast-in-place concrete structures. Reinforcing them with steel profiles requires special treatment of the rammed earth walls, such as creating holes and grooves for fixing the steel profiles. This will cause some damage to the surface of the existing walls. When used for cultural relics and ancient buildings with protective value, it will inevitably damage the original appearance and historical traces of the walls, and this damage is irreversible. In addition, due to the characteristics of rammed earth, such as varying particle size, complex composition and viscosity, areas with more coarse particles are prominent, while areas with concentrated fine particles are relatively low-lying. It is difficult to ensure the surface flatness, and it is also difficult to achieve the effect of stable connection without damaging the main structure. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to achieve a reinforced earthen building structure that is completely independent of the existing building structure by setting a wooden frame component that is closely attached to the inner surface of the earthen building wall.
[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A reinforced structure for an earthen building includes a timber frame assembly and a reinforcement and leveling assembly. The timber frame assembly is located within the earthen building, which includes walls. The timber frame assembly is tightly attached to the inner surface of the walls. The timber frame assembly includes a plurality of timber structural columns, column foundations fixedly connected to the lower part of each timber structural column, and timber beams mortised and tenoned to the upper part of each timber structural column. The reinforcement and leveling assembly is located between the timber frame assembly and the inner surface of the walls. The reinforcement and leveling assembly includes wooden planks and wooden dowels. The wooden planks are tightly attached to the inner surface of the walls, and the wooden dowels pass through the timber structural columns and are fixed to the wooden planks. The space between the wooden planks and the timber structural columns is filled with straw and mud.
[0006] Preferably, the reinforcement and leveling component further includes wooden supports, and the junction of the wooden structural column and the wooden tip is fixed by the wooden supports.
[0007] Preferably, the number of wooden supports is multiple.
[0008] Preferably, the number of the wood tips is multiple.
[0009] Preferably, the column foundation is constructed of stone masonry, and the wooden structural column extends downward and is embedded in the column foundation.
[0010] Preferably, the wooden frame assembly further includes a wooden ring beam, which is mounted on the wooden structural column and connected to the wooden structural column by mortise and tenon joints.
[0011] Preferably, the timber frame assembly further includes timber pads, and the earthen structure further includes timber rafters, with the timber pads filling the gaps between the timber beams and the timber rafters.
[0012] Preferably, the tenon and mortise are right-angle tenons.
[0013] Preferably, the earthen building reinforcement structure further includes energy-dissipating cables and connectors. The energy-dissipating cables are located between adjacent wooden structural columns. The connectors include turnbuckles and metal joints. The energy-dissipating cables are threaded to the turnbuckles. The turnbuckles and the metal joints are connected by pins. The metal joints are bolted to the wooden structural columns. The energy-dissipating cables are obliquely arranged and connected to the upper and lower end nodes of the wooden structural columns respectively through the metal joints.
[0014] Preferably, the connector further includes an anchoring steel plate, which is located at the node of the wooden structural column and is fixedly connected to the wooden structural column.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the earthen building reinforcement structure of this utility model has the following advantages:
[0016] (1) The earthen building reinforcement structure of this application realizes a wooden frame component that is completely independent of the existing building structure by setting a close-fitting wooden frame component on the inner surface of the earthen building wall. The wooden frame component is made of wooden structural columns and wooden beams connected by mortise and tenon joints. The whole is rectangular, like a "wooden box". The "wooden box" structural reinforcement system is completely independent of the existing building structure, just like a solid box embedded in the house. Even if the existing building structure collapses, the "wooden box" can still maintain a certain structural stability and safety, isolate the residents inside the box from the collapsed building structure, achieve "the wall falls but the house does not collapse", and give the residents enough escape space and time.
[0017] (2) The earthen building reinforcement structure of this application sets up a reinforcement and leveling component between the inner surface of the earthen building wall and the wooden frame component, fixes the wooden board and the wooden structural column by wooden pins, and fills the space between the wooden board and the wooden structural column with straw mud to enhance the integrity between the two. At the same time, the straw mud has a certain degree of flexibility and can play a buffering role when the structure is subjected to external force and undergoes slight deformation.
[0018] (3) The earthen building reinforcement structure of this application can be adapted to two building reinforcement scenarios, flat roof and arched roof, through different shaped wooden beams. At the same time, when reinforcing the arched roof building, a wooden ring beam is set between the wooden structural columns and wooden beams to constrain the wooden structural columns and wooden beams, limit their deformation under dynamic loads such as earthquakes, effectively reduce the lateral displacement of the wooden structural columns and wooden beams, and enhance the seismic performance of the structure.
[0019] (4) The earthen building reinforcement structure of this application uses wood components and the components are connected by wooden tenon joints. The materials are sourced locally, which greatly reduces the cost of reinforcement and renovation. Attached Figure Description

The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.
[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0033] Figures 1-9 This utility model relates to a reinforcement structure for earthen buildings, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the structure includes a timber frame assembly 200 located within an earthen structure 100. The earthen structure 100 includes the inner surface of a wall 101. The timber frame assembly 200 is tightly attached to the inner surface of the wall 101. The timber frame assembly 200 includes several timber structural columns 201, column foundations 202 fixedly connected to the lower part of each timber structural column 201, and timber beams 203 connected to the upper part of each timber structural column 201 by tenon and mortise joints 205. The structural reinforcement system of this application mainly relies on the overlapping of timber beams 203 and timber structural columns 201, forming an overall cuboid shape, like a "wooden box." The beam-column joints are connected by tenon and mortise joints 205, resulting in a simple structural form.
[0034] In one embodiment of this application, the dimensions of the wooden structural column 201 are 150mm × 200mm, and the dimensions of the wooden beam 203 are 150mm × 200mm. For typical small buildings, single-story or two-story residences, this size is sufficient to bear the vertical load transmitted from the roof and floors. Under horizontal loads, when small buildings in areas with low seismic fortification intensity encounter earthquakes, the wooden structural column 201 of this size, in conjunction with components such as the wooden ring beam 204, can provide a certain lateral force resistance and maintain the overall stability of the building.
[0035] The column foundation 202 is constructed of stone masonry, and the wooden column 201 extends downward and embeds into the column foundation 202. In a preferred embodiment of this application, the dimensions of the column foundation 202 are 400mm × 300mm × 200mm, and the insertion depth of the wooden column 201 into the column foundation 202 is 15mm. The bottom dimensions of 400mm × 300mm provide a suitable bearing area, which can evenly distribute the load transmitted from the wooden column 201 onto the foundation soil, effectively reducing the pressure borne by the foundation per unit area, avoiding uneven settlement of the foundation due to load concentration, and ensuring the stability of the building. The insertion depth of 15mm allows the wooden column 201 to adapt to uneven settlement of the column foundation 202 or the dry and wet deformation of the wood itself to a certain extent. When minor deformation occurs, the connection between the wooden column 201 and the column foundation 202 will not be easily damaged due to shallow insertion, nor will it restrict the reasonable deformation of the wooden column 201 due to excessive insertion, thereby improving the durability and reliability of the structure.
[0036] The timber frame assembly 200 also includes timber ring beams 204, which are supported on timber structural columns 201 and connected to the timber structural columns 201 via mortise and tenon joints 205. Timber ring beams 204 are typically located at the top of the walls 101 on each floor, arranged around the perimeter of the earthen building 100. Furthermore, timber ring beams 204 are an important seismic-resistant structural measure in timber-framed buildings; they can form a spatial frame system with the timber structural columns 201, improving the earthen building 100's resistance to collapse under seismic loads.
[0037] In the embodiments of this application, the main components (columns, beams, rafters) are made of wood, and the connection between the components is made of wooden tenons and mortises 205. When the tenons and mortises 205 are inconvenient to connect, metal components such as corner nails are used for connection.
[0038] If it is not possible to make the wooden structural column 201 fit tightly against the inner surface of the wall 101, such as Figure 6As shown, the earthen building reinforcement structure also includes a reinforcement and leveling component 300. The reinforcement and leveling component 300 is located between the timber frame component 200 and the inner surface of the wall 101. The reinforcement and leveling component 300 includes a wooden board 301 and a wooden dowel 302. The wooden board 301 is attached to the inner surface of the wall 101, and the wooden dowel 302 passes through the timber structural column 201 and is fixed to the wooden board 301.
[0039] Specifically, there are multiple types of wood tip 302.
[0040] Specifically, the size of the wooden dowel 302 is 20mm × 20mm, which can provide sufficient shear and bending strength. When fixing the wooden structural column 201 to the wooden board 301, it can effectively withstand various forces between the two, including the self-weight of the structure, tensile force, compressive force and shear force caused by external forces, etc., to ensure the stability of the connection, so that the reinforcement and leveling component 300 can play a better role and maintain the structural stability between the wooden frame component 200 and the inner surface of the wall 101.
[0041] The reinforcement and leveling component 300 also includes a wooden brace 303, which fixes the wooden structural column 201 and the wooden dowel 302 at the junction.
[0042] Specifically, there are multiple 303 wooden supports.
[0043] Specifically, the configuration of timber bracing 303 is 50mm × 20mm @ 600mm, indicating that the cross-sectional dimensions of timber bracing 303 are 50mm wide and 20mm thick, and one timber bracing 303 is installed every 600mm. The 50mm × 20mm cross-sectional dimensions give timber bracing 303 a certain degree of rigidity and strength, providing reliable support at the junction of timber structural column 201 and timber dowel 302. Installing one every 600mm evenly distributes the supporting force, effectively enhancing the connection strength at the junction, improving the stability of the entire structure, and enabling it to better withstand various external forces. At the same time, the junction of timber structural column 201 and timber dowel 302 is a stress concentration point, prone to deformation or damage. The installation of timber bracing 303 can disperse concentrated stress over a larger area, reducing local stress concentration, lowering the risk of cracks or damage to the structure due to excessive stress, and extending the service life of the structure.
[0044] The space between the wooden plank 301 and the wooden structural column 201 is filled with straw mud 304.
[0045] In one embodiment of this application, the thickness of the wooden board 301 is 20mm. Wooden dowels 302 are passed through the wooden structural column 201 and fixed to the wooden board 301. Wooden supports 303 are used to secure the junction between the wooden structural column 201 and the wooden dowels 302. The gap between the wooden structural column 201 and the wooden board 301 is then filled tightly with straw mud 304. The straw mud 304 provides reinforcement to the wooden structural column 201 and the wooden board 301, enhancing their overall integrity. Simultaneously, the straw mud 304 possesses a degree of flexibility, acting as a buffer when the structure undergoes minor deformation under external forces, reducing damage caused by direct friction or collision between the wooden structural column 201 and the wooden board 301. Furthermore, the straw mud 304 is typically made from readily available local materials such as soil and grass, resulting in low cost. The material is natural and environmentally friendly, does not release harmful gases, and is beneficial to human health and the environment. Its construction process is relatively simple, requiring no special equipment or technology, thus reducing construction costs and difficulty.
[0046] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the timber frame component 200 also includes timber pads 206, and the earthen structure 100 also includes timber rafters 102. The timber pads 206 fill the gaps between the timber beams 203 and the timber rafters 102. When the surfaces of the original timber rafters 102 and the original timber beams 103 are uneven and cannot be tightly attached, timber pads 206 are added to ensure that at least 50% of the timber rafters 102 are tightly attached to the roof, thus ensuring effective force transmission.
[0047] Specifically, the shapes of the wooden beams 203 include square, arched, and circular forms to suit the style and load-bearing capacity of different buildings.
[0048] Specifically, mortise and tenon 205 is a right-angle tenon. The shoulder and cheek surfaces of a right-angle tenon are perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to each other, and the tenon and mortise fit together tightly. When subjected to external forces, it can effectively limit the twisting of the wooden parts in all directions, making the overall structure more robust.
[0049] Specifically, when reinforcing a roof that can be accessed, additional wooden rafters 102 should be added as needed. The added wooden rafters 102 can increase the load-bearing capacity of the roof and reduce the risk of roof deformation and damage.
[0050] like Figure 9 As shown, when the original building has two or more floors, the wooden structural columns 201 should pass through the floor slabs and run through all floors, and each floor should be provided with wooden beams 203 to form a frame.
[0051] Specifically, the "wooden box" frame is not suitable for reinforcement of earthen buildings with more than 3 stories.
[0052] For buildings with high structural safety requirements, the reinforced earthen structure also includes energy-dissipating cables 400 and connectors to increase the overall integrity and stability of the structure. The energy-dissipating cables 400 are located between adjacent timber structural columns 201. The connectors include turnbuckles and metal joints. The energy-dissipating cables 400 are threaded to the turnbuckles, and the turnbuckles and metal joints are connected by pins. The metal joints are bolted to the timber structural columns 201. The energy-dissipating cables 400 are obliquely positioned and connected to the upper and lower ends of the timber structural columns 201 via metal joints. The stress value of the energy-dissipating cables 400 is determined by structural mechanics calculations.
[0053] The connector also includes an anchoring steel plate, which is located at the node of the timber structural column 201 and is fixedly connected to the timber structural column 201.
[0054] The earthen building reinforcement structure applied in this application mainly involves three application scenarios: reinforcement of flat-roof buildings, reinforcement of arched-roof buildings, and reinforcement of buildings with two or more stories.
[0055] When reinforcing flat-roofed buildings, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the cracked inner surface of the wall 101 is first sealed by pressure grouting. If necessary, the original inner surface of the wall 101 is removed and the inner surface of the wall 101 is rebuilt using local traditional adobe bricks. A wooden frame component 200 is built inside the earthen building 100, and a reinforcement and leveling component 300 is used to make the wooden structural column 201 fit tightly against the inner surface of the wall 101. The wooden beam 203 is connected to the wooden structural column 201 by mortise and tenon joints 205 to form a "wooden box" structure. The wooden structural column 201 extends into the column foundation 202. The force transmission path of the frame is from the wooden beam 203 to the wooden structural column 201, and then from the wooden structural column 201 to the column foundation 202, forming a stable and reliable frame system.
[0056] When reinforcing arched roof buildings, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the construction method for the inner surface of the wooden structural column 201 and the wall 101 is consistent with that for the reinforcement of flat roof buildings. A wooden ring beam 204 is added above the wooden structural column 201. The wooden ring beam 204 is connected to the wooden structural column 201 by mortise and tenon joints 205. Above the wooden ring beam 204 is an arched wooden beam 203, which is also connected to the arched wooden beam 203 by mortise and tenon joints 205. Above the arched wooden beam 203 are wooden rafters 102. This is to ensure that the upper part of the formed wooden frame component 200 is connected to the earthen building. 100% effective force transmission: Wooden pads 206 are added between the arched wooden beam 203 and the wooden rafters 102 to ensure that at least 50% of the wooden rafters 102 are in close contact with the roof, thus ensuring effective force transmission. At this time, the force transmission path of the frame is from the roof to the wooden rafters 102, and then from the wooden rafters 102 to the arched wooden beam 203. The arched wooden beam 203 then transmits the load to the wooden ring beam 204, and the load of the wooden ring beam 204 is transmitted to the wooden structural column 201, and finally to the column foundation 202.
[0057] When reinforcing buildings with two or more stories, such as Figure 9 As shown, the construction method for the inner surface of the wooden structural column 201 and the wall 101 is consistent with that for the reinforcement of flat roof buildings. Furthermore, the wooden structural column 201 should penetrate the floor slab and run through all floors. Each floor has a wooden beam 203 forming a frame. Specifically, to ensure effective force transmission between the newly added wooden beam 203 and the earthen structure 100, wooden blocks 206 are added between the newly added wooden beam 203 and the original wooden beam 103. This creates an effective force transmission path between the wooden frame assembly 200 and the earthen structure 100. The force transmission path is from the floor slab to the wooden rafters 102, then from the wooden rafters 102 to the original wooden beam 103, then from the original wooden beam 103 to the newly added wooden beam 203 via the wooden blocks 206, and finally from the newly added wooden beam 203 to the wooden structural column 201, ultimately transferring the force to the column foundation 202.
[0058] This application describes a reinforced earthen building structure. A wooden frame component 200, completely independent of the existing building structure, is installed on the inner surface of the wall 101 of the earthen building 100. The wooden frame component 200 is constructed by connecting wooden structural columns 201 and wooden beams 203 via mortise and tenon joints 205, forming a rectangular shape, like a "wooden box." This "wooden box" reinforcement system is completely independent of the existing building structure, acting like a sturdy box embedded inside the house. Even if the existing building structure collapses, the "wooden box" maintains a certain degree of structural stability and safety, isolating the occupants from the collapsed structure, achieving "the wall may fall, but the house will not collapse," providing occupants with sufficient escape space and time. A reinforcing and leveling component 300 is installed between the inner surface of the wall 101 of the earthen building 100 and the wooden frame component 200, connected by wooden dowels 30... 2. Fix the wooden plank 301 to the wooden structural column 201, and fill the space between the wooden plank 301 and the wooden structural column 201 with straw mud 304 to enhance the integrity between the two. At the same time, the straw mud 304 has a certain degree of flexibility and can play a buffering role when the structure undergoes slight deformation under external force. Through the wooden beams 203 of different shapes, it can be adapted to both flat roof and arched roof building reinforcement scenarios. At the same time, when reinforcing arched roof buildings, a wooden ring beam 204 is set between the wooden structural column 201 and the wooden beam 203 to restrain the wooden structural column 201 and the wooden beam 203, limiting their deformation under dynamic loads such as earthquakes, effectively reducing the lateral displacement of the wooden structural column 201 and the wooden beam 203, and enhancing the seismic performance of the structure. The components used are made of wood, and the components are connected by wooden tenon joints 205. Local materials are used, and the reinforcement and renovation costs are greatly reduced.
[0059] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of this utility model. These are all equivalent modifications and improvements made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model, and all of these fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
